Memory & Energy Support

Emerging research shows that an anti-aging supplement may promote healthy memory and reverse memory loss. MitoForte® contains a powerful and unique combination of nutrients shown in clinical trials and basic research to improve memory. MitoForte provides clinically relevant amounts of Huperzine A, Acetyl-L-Carnitine, L-Carnitine, Alpha Lipoic Acid, and the powerful antioxidants Turmeric and N-Acetyl-Cysteine. Huperzine A, an extract from the plant, Huperzia serrata has been used in China for centuries for various ailments, including boosting memory. Extensive research in last twenty years has defined Huperzine A as a powerful compound for improving memory. In China, where the traditional uses of plants dates by millennia, Huperzine A has been approved for the treatment of Alzheimer’s Diseaes (AD). In the United States, Huperzine A is available as a dietary supplement ingredient. Clinical trials show it improves memory and mental function in people with dementia by 60% or more. Huperzine A has also been established as a proven way to promote “factual memory,” “recognition,” “association”, and “accumulation” in people without dementia.

Huperzine A increases achetylcholine (ACH), the powerful memory-enhancing chemical in the brain. It does this by decreasing ACH breakdown by the enzyme acetylcholine esterase (ACHE). According to the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), ‘‘Huperzine A appears to be strongly specific for AChE, which suggests that it can be effective without the adverse effects that have been caused by drugs used to treat memory loss and dementia.”

Research has concluded that acetyl-L-carnitine nutrients in a memory supplement can improve memory and cognitive function. Carnitine is an amino acid that stimulates the breakdown of fats for cellular energy. Two-thirds of the brain is fat, and providing nutrients that stimulate the pathways for energy production in the brain can help increase memory and cognitive function, which are energy-intensive processes.

The hippocampus is a vital structure in the brain that stores short term memories. L-carnitine has been shown to prevent damage to the hippocampus and improve memory. Alpha lipoic acid, a powerful antioxidant, has been studied for its beneficial effects in people with diabetes and metabolic syndrome. It has also been shown to improve memory when used in conjunction with L-carnitine as an anti-aging supplement.

Dr. Neustadt’s research that formed the foundation of the MitoForte formula was so powerful that he was recognized as a Top Ten Cited Author by Elsevier for his work on mitochondrial damage and the molecular pathways of disease.

*Footnotes

Among all these manufacturers, only NBI refers to human clinical trials showing the ingredients in their products, in the amounts contained in their products, are effective. Compare these products and their websites with NBI’s products and websites. MitoForte, for example, lists more than 230 citations supporting its formula, including many human clinical trials. A list of research citations is available at www.nbihealth.com.

The products included in this chart may contain additional nutrients, such as vitamins and minerals. However, none of these additional nutrients have ever been shown in studies to improve memory or energy. The only nutrients listed in this chart are those promoted by supplement companies as nutrients that explicitly enhance memory or energy. It is not a complete list of all nutrients found in these products.

**Ginkgo biloba has been studied for its ability to improve memory. The amount of Ginkgo in these products—120 mg—has never been shown to improve memory.

†Determination of memory and energy increases were based on published human clinical trials and compared against the amount of each nutrient provided in these formulas.

‡While it’s likely that the eight milligrams of caffeine and sugar in one can of Red Bull can help people temporarily enhance energy, no clinical trials on these amounts of ingredients have ever been shown to increase energy or memory. Moreover, high amounts of caffeine and sugar consumption can be dangerous. Side effects include rapid heartbeat (tachycardia), insomnia, poor blood sugar regulation, increasing diabetes risk, anxiety and mood changes.

Twenty-Six Reasons to Take MitoForte

As people age they commonly become concerned about maintaining and promoting their health. During their teens and twenties, most people are oblivious to the need to eat healthy, exercise and take dietary supplements whose ingredients can promote many aspect of optimal health. Since one nutrient can be used in the body for many different functions, it’s no surprise that the ingredients in MitoForte have been shown to have a multitude of benefits.

Basic research and clinical trials point to the many benefits MitoForte’s ingredients can have on many aspects of health. Ingredients in MitoForte have been studied for their effects on:

Aging

Blood Sugar and Insulin

Brain Health

Cardiovascular Health

Energy

Exercise

Heart Health

Immune Health

Leg Pain

Liver Health

Male Reproduction

Memory

Mitochondria

Mood

Neurological Health

Stamina

Oxygen Flow

Weight

The major reason why MitoForte’s ingredients have so many powerful and diverse benefits is because they nourish, repair and protect mitochondria. Mitochochondria are the powerhouses of our cells. Among other crucial functions, they generate energy and heat. Cells contain anywhere from two hundred to two thousand mitochondria, depending on their energy needs. Heart muscle cells have some of the highest concentration of mitochondria.
